Query: Glenn Harmon Smith, Indianapolis

I
am inquiring about my father Glenn Harmon Smith (deceased) ss #314-20-0153; born
August 28,1925. His mother was Edyth E. Harmon, and his father was Clover
E. Smith. In doing a genealogy search, it shows his residence as
Indianapolis Orphans Asylum, East Washington St., Indianapolis, IN. We were always told that he
had a "nanny" when he was young, as his mother had to work. My mother
is deceased, and my two brothers would like to know if and why he was placed in
the Orphans Asylum on East Washington St.He was always very quiet about
his past, and it would explain a lot if we knew if this is true. Thank you for
your help.
